Upgrade to Annvix 2.0
Alright, its my turn to upgrade:
I have just updated one of my production server handling source controls and bugzilla:
overall, the migration scripts works! but I did have couple scary moments that we need to
improve:
1. I only get the full annvix/releases/2.0-RELEASE tree from the server,
and it turns out to be NOT ENOUGH, since the upgrade script is also
looking for annvix/release/i586… and other places, this cause the
upgrade script to fail. (good thing i have other windows open that can
do a quick sync from the web and have the script ‘retry’ to avoid the catastrophic failure.)
2. after upgrade, swap doesn’t get turned up automatically, its kindda
weird, /etc/fstab did include the swap, and when i do swapon -a, it
works..did you forget to put swapon in the init script?
3. named is broken by default, /etc/rndc.key is causing the problem, I
just remove the content from this file, then named works again.
4. I did have some weird dependency problems that apt-get is claiming i
have multiple version of openssh running (I had to manually remove the
extra ones from other terminals to make it happy)
anyhow, this machine is pretty much working again (bugzilla just works! i was surprised that all the modules still works)
took me about an hour on that fairly fast machines
PS. I noticed that sshd daemon is on during the whole process.. this is
very good, and i am glad the upgrade script didn’t fool with sshd daemon
(at least i didn’t noticed) because during the upgrade, 3 windows are
simply not enough…. i keep opening more terminals….)
4 more to go….. =)
